Earlier in the day...

Later in the day :)

And TODAY...is now 40 weeks out!!!

My boy is 40 weeks old!!
(and a little over 9 months!)

Yes his Daddy does rock!

I have loved this boy since the moment I knew I was carrying him inside me.....and each day my love for him just grows and grows!!!  Its hard to believe he has ONLY been in my life for 80 weeks!!!  I can't...and hope to NEVER...imagine my life without him!!!  Thanks for making me your Mommy my sweet boy!!

Pumpkin Carving!

We have been sooooo busy that we almost forgot to carve the pumpkin :/  (and how could we forget after going to THREE pumpkin patches lol)  So the night before Halloween we hurried and did it lol

Wandering what this is..

Daddy showing him he could touch it..

We stuck it all over his hands...then he FREAKED out!!
This kid does NOT like to be dirty :)

Happy Halloween

Nick with his pumpkin

Me and my boy!

Tired..

Maybe next year won't be so busy so we can REALLY carve some pumpkins!

Growing Up.....

Nine Months

Weight: 16.6lbs

Height: 27in

I can't even explain how looooong it took me to get ANY photos!!!  This kid is on the go....and not stopping anytime soon!!  He got the hat just so I could keep him occupied long enough to get these! haha  It was either get the hat or keep eating his cars.....

I just <3 his faces!

So what is Nick up to at 9 months?!

• He is on the GO and not looking back hahaha
• VERY cuddly....he snuggles up to Mommy and Daddy and we LOVE it
• still taking steps on his own....but I wouldn't call him a "walker" just yet
• he loves chasing the cats lol
• has his own language and laughs at us when we try to talk like him
• has the CUTEST laugh I have ever heard

So yeah....he's pretty much EVERYWHERE.....and Mommy and Daddy are just exhautsted lol .. But LOVING every minute with our little guy

Back to the Pumpkin Patch....

Nick is the luckiest kid for sure!!!!  Who else goes to THREE pumpkin patches their 1st year!  =)  I guess its a good thing for me cuz he has sooo many Halloween outfits!!  And Halloween is one of Kris' favorite holidays!

So we went to this one with Kris' Dad and Betty last weekend!!!  Nick had a blast as always....here are a few pics!

Papa and Nick looking at turkeys

HAPPY HALLOWEEN...Peter Family 2011

Daddy and Son

Grow Nick Grow!!!  haha

Love us!

I am Pumpkin Patched out!!! haha  Until next year.....

Sauchuk Farm

Nick had a whole weekend full of Pumpkins =)  What a LUCKY boy!!!

Sauchuk Farm was seriously the coolest place ever!!  Sooo many things to do, especially for kids!  Face painting, giant jumping pillows, hay rides that took you to pick your own pumpkin (right off the vine!), corn cannons, corn box, duck races, spider webs to climb on,  cow trains and corn mazes....to name a few =)   Unfortunately Nick was too young this year to partake in most of them....but I am already looking forward to next year when he can do more!  My favorite thing about it was the corn maze!!  I had never been in one before!  They had a larger one for adults and a smaller one for kids.  It also had a game inside of the maze (you had to look for certain things and punch them on your "mazeopoly" board!)

Here are just a few pics!

Ready to go to Pumpkin Patch #2!

haha I <3 his face

Entering the corn maze!

Playing the game....of course we got them ALL! =)



Picking his PUMPKIN



Looking and pointing at EVERYTHING lol

I am happy to say we started a new family tradition this year.....we will be doing a corn maze every fall!!  I cannot wait for next year!!   =)

Fort Nick....

Seriously.....just LOVE this boy!!

Defending his Fort

Who goes there?!

Sleeping on watch duty lol

Seven Years!!!

I cannot believe Kris and I have been together now for SEVEN years!!!  Time sure flies when you're having fun =)   I love him more today than ever!  He is the most amazing husband, father and best friend!! 

I LOVE YOU HUBBY!

Seven Years ago!
